When babies start to chew on objects, it can be a sign they’re ready for mashed food. They will now be able to cope with more texture, and they’re probably ready to enjoy some more adventurous tastes too. Introducing plenty of variety in the first year teaches them to enjoy lots of different tastes in future. If you need any guidance with introducing new foods, just get in touch and speak to one of our experts.

Cow & Gate Baby Balance offers balanced nutrition for your baby at every stage of weaning, from breakfast through to lunch, dinner and desserts. Our stage 2 foods introduce tempting new tastes such as aubergine and mushroom with mashed textures, which are great for learning to chew. Trying a wider variety of ingredients will help your baby develop a liking for different tastes and encourage healthy eating habits in later years. It will also help them get the balance of nutrients they need for all that growing!
Unlike other cereals, Cow & Gate Baby Balance breakfast cereals contain no added sugar or salt, and provide ⅓ of your baby’s key daily vitamins per bowl, to help your baby enjoy a healthier breakfast. Our Cow & Gate Baby Balance breakfast cereals introduce new fruits and the goodness of whole grains, with more texture for their first lessons in chewing.
